The IRS has a criminal enforcement department, and they absolutely investigate criminals and press charges that have nothing to do with tax evasion. Often they work with other branches, but they are fully fledged FBI agents and can prosecute any crime they want.

Usually they do that when they stumble upon them during tax/laundering investigations, but they'll prosecute anything.
